The previous present was all about giving you money, this one would require you to spend some money but for those that are into the single cup coffee maker -you would love this news!
Then again, if you are into the single serve coffee makers, I would think that many of you would have already know this -the code for single serve coffee has been broken and it is already commercial!
Breaking the code is no big news, but the bit about this being commercial I guess is good news to you right? Just think about this, by breaking the code, the single cup coffee maker would no longer be a closed system!
Closed system forces you to drink the coffee that comes with the brand of coffee makers, while most of it are big brands that has great tasting coffee, somehow you still wished for a machine that is able to brew any coffee you like right?
Well, your wish is granted when devices like coffee ducks and perfect pod makers appeared in the market and is accepted by most of the single serve machines companies.
All saved 3 brands are able to use the coffee pods that you make with the help of devices are perfect pod makers. The 3 brands are Nespresso, Keurig and Tassimo. The special nature of their pods make it very difficult to customize and so, for now, nobody is coming out with any devices to do that.
Hey, if this is the first time you are hearing this, that is one great christmas present right?
Christmas is here and presents are the order of the day. So, for my readers, I would need to prepare something nice for them as well. What would you say if I tell you that my present for you is approximately $1000!
You would definitely not believe it, because I do not seems like such a wealthy man that I am able to give this much of money! But, I am going to tell you a piece of news about coffee maker ratings that would be able to give you this amount of money and in fact more.
If you check out that coffee maker ratings link, it is not so much about the rating and evaluation of coffee makers but more a coffee story site. This is because, the site owner believes that it is the environment that make or break a cup of coffee.
He do not think that in a lousy environment, you would be able to get a good coffee no matter how good the coffee machine can be. And to prove his point, he is asking people to submit on the best coffee drank and the environment that they are in.
He knows that this is some effort to write this story, so in return for this effort, he is giving away an ebook about how to get free coffee.
Yes, this ebook information is worth $1000 and more! How much do you pay for a cup of coffee at Starbucks? I think it should be about $3.50, and if you mulitply it by 365, you would get $1278.
And that is only for a year, when you learned the tips offered in this book, you can get free coffee perpetually. So, you probably can at least multiply this $1278 by 10 to 20 times.
There you have it, my Christmas present for my readers just like yourself. sure, you need to write a story, but what is a few minutes work compared to $1000 of savings!
For coffee, the best way is to taste it. We tried in 4 shops and between the 5 of us, we all agree that coffee brewed from the cuisinart brew central coffee maker is better. Now, we know that the cuisinart brew central coffee maker is better, why is that so?
They have a programmable feature, so did the rest of the brewers. They have a warming plate which I do not think would play a part in deciding the taste of the coffee. Neither would be the carafe, although my wife loves the fact that it is drip proof.
It also has nothing to do with the pause and brew although I must say that I love this functin as it allows me to get my coffee faster.
If it is not all these features, what are the things that allows cuisinart to brew better coffee? The fact is, if you compare it with bunn or mr coffee, there is only one element that differentiate it from the rest and that is the charcoal filter.
This is not the filter that seperates the coffee ground from your coffee, but this is the filter so that you would get better quality water.
Now, the term better quality water is subjective. This is actually known as soft water and it is this type of water that would brew exceptional good coffee. Most consumers would use tap water to brew their coffee, and some of you would notice that there seems to be some metallic taste when using the tap water.
These are actually minerals inside the water that causes this taste difference. So, charcoal filter would take away all these minerals for a better coffee. Then, the absence of these minerals also meant that your coffee machine runs smoother and can last for a longer period of time.
So, now you know that cuisinart is better and why it is better...
Many people are asking this question because to them, single serve coffee maker is a closed system. And being a closed system, one would have to purchase the coffee that comes with the single serve coffee machine.
And even till today, this is how most single serve market their products. Of course, there are some machines other there that allows "partners" products to be used on their machine, but most single serve machines still requires you to purchase their own coffee.
Before moving on to some devices that might assist you to mitigate this issue, there are 3 companies with their single serve coffee makers that would remain perpetually closed, that is, you would have to purchase their coffee if you are using their machines.
They are Keurig with their K-cups, Tassimo with their T-disc and Nespresso with their capsules. So, do take note that you really have to love these coffees to purchase their machines.
Other than that, if you are getting any other coffee pods machines, you do not really have to worry too much about the blend of coffee because as I mentioned earlier, there are various solutions in the market that would "opened" the system.
One of them is known as the Perfect pod maker. As the name suggests, it makes coffee pods, so you do not have to worry anymore about the blend of coffee that comes with the single serve coffee maker, you can make you own blend!
There you have it, other than the 3 brands highlighted, you can choose any types of single coffee devices you like, all you need to do is get equipment like the perfect pod maker and you would be able to enjoy any blend of coffee you like...
This is how it goes, everything and anything that goes into brewing coffee, would affect it. It can be something as small as cleaning the coffee maker to as major as temperature of the water.
Now, I did not say this, this is what I learn from a free coffee course, and one of the things which they bring out, is the grind of the coffee.
Anyone that brews coffee would have heard of the importance of coffee grinding. But, you probably understand it differently. For example, you would have heard about how important it is to get the fine coffee powder that can be used to brew espresso.
And I think this is where the misconception arises. Everyone start thinking that espresso fine coffee grind is the way to go, which in reality it is not so. What we want is to match the correct grind size to the right coffee maker.
However, we do need to have an even and consistent grind in order to achieve a good brew. And even and consistent grind are the 2 things to look for, and not a single type of coffee grind.
If you do not have the right grind to the right coffee maker, then it would result in either under extraction or over extraction. Which in both cases, give bad coffee...
Mentioning braun coffee maker, would probably not ring a bell to you. I guess you might not have heard of braun aroma deluxe. These coffee machines would not be familiar to any of you, but what if I mentioned Tassimo?
If you are into coffee and loves great coffee, then Tassimo, this brand should be familiar to you. They are one of the newest single serve coffee maker, and it is branded under braun. Easy to use and no mess to clean after the brew is what makes this tassimo so popular.
As highlighted earlier, the reason why you do not have any idea of other braun coffee maker (those filter drip types) is probably because of the bunn, Mr coffee or maybe even the Toddy! There are just so many competition out there for the same market, that whatever models braun came out with would be drowned in these competition...
But this tassimo coffee maker is different. Not only does this model is single serve coffee maker that allows one to have easy and great coffee, it is the most popular brands around now!
Sure, Tassimo is easy to use, but so are all single serve coffee makers, so what is so special about this braun single cup machine? What is the difference with say, Senseo?
Well, the T-disc that Braun Tassimo uses are different from the usual coffee pods, while it sealed in the aroma and freshness, T-disc uses liquid milk for its cappuccino instead of milk powder. So what, you might asked.
The real value add is the special code that the Tassimo reads on the T-disc used to make the cuppa. The code on the back of the t-disc "teaches" the Tassimo how to brew the beverage. So, an espresso is brew differently from a latte.
Do you ever have the problem of a "after taste". Well, if Braun tassimo would to brew many cups, one thought might cross your mind, wouldn't the previous latte taste musk the espresso taste later on?
And here comes another technology of Tassimo, the brewing take place inside of the T-disc using the inverse flow technology. Your beverage comes directly from the T-disc, and so you can brew any variety of beverages and yet maintained the taste exclusive to each beverage.
If you have not heard of this braun coffee maker before, aren't you glad that you have now?
